What should I bring to my initial consultation with a personal injury attorney?

Initial consultations are so important because they give your attorney the insight needed to best approach and prove your claim. Because of this, if possible, you should bring several things with you. They are as follows:

Photos or videos of the accident and the injuries you’ve sustained as a result.

Any contact you may have had with other party or their insurance, such as letters, emails, or phone calls.

A list of questions you wish to ask your attorney.

A written statement regarding the events leading up to your accident how and your injuries happened.

A copy of the police report from the accident.

The names and contact information, such as phone numbers or business cards, of anyone who saw the accident occur.

Medical records detailing the origin and extent of your injuries.

Receipts of any expenses related to the injuries, such as medical bills, lost wages incurred due to not being able to work, and more.

What are some of the things my attorney will need to know?

Your attorney will need to know several things to win your personal injury claim, including the following:

What your injuries are, and how they affect your daily life.

What medical and automobile insurance coverage you have.

Whether you gave your insurance company a statement about the incident.

Where are you employed/what you do, and the duration of time you have worked there.

Whether you have ever been involved in an accident before.

Whether you have seen a doctor and what that doctor’s prognosis is.

Whether you spoke with any other lawyers or insurance representatives about your accident.
